Re: Build Your Own Media Center

Hi,
I am new to the forum. After buying many DVD recorderes and having problems with them, I decided to buld a HTPC for myself. I have an old Dell laptop (inspiron 5100) that uses a desktop P4 processor. Can i use it for the purpose of the HTPC. Is there any part of it can be used for a HTPC. Any comment is much appreciated.

Regards,

Shah

Mate,
Thanks for your comment. I didn't mean that I had problems with how to use the DVD recorders, I meant after buying 3 different brands, they all stopped working or didn't play the media format that I required and and I had to return it to the supplyer.

Still if anyone has any idea if I can use the laptop P4 CPU to build the HTPC please let me know.

Many thanks,

Shah
